The scheme has 19 one bed bungalows and 17 two bed bungalows, all fitted with an emergency alarm system. There’s a modern communal lounge, kitchen and laundry room. The scheme benefits from the travelling library and greengrocer. We support customers who wish to arrange their own social activities and entertainment.
Shefford is a market town with a good selection of shops, including a small supermarket. There are various pubs, restaurants and takeaways, a bank, travel agent, pharmacy and post office. There’s also a bowls club, angling centre and even a brewery!
All flats are connected to an alarm system operating 24/7, 365 days per year. Our Life24 Advisors offer assistance and support to customers to help maintain their independence. For a small weekly fee, there is the option to purchase additional visits should you want that extra peace of mind." Show less
